I have always used Play.com for buying any DVD's,CD's & Books. I find that their prices are very reasonable compared to most online stores. Also cheaper than many stores in our local shopping centre. There is also the advantage of not having to be served by someone who cannot for the life of them be bothered to even utter a hello to you and wish that they were somwhere else! Free delivery on EVERYTHING! Which is a total added bonus. I mean have you ... ...for any item? I think, personally is a bit insane! Delivery is also very quick.

Advantages: None - no stock, crap deilivery Disadvantages: Everything and managers who are paid more yet will nto talk to customers
What a complete waste of time. I pre ordered windows 7 from PLay in JULY 2009 and it did not appear on release date of 23rd October. They blame the postal strike, but as I told them on the phone for it to be delivered ont he Thursday, it HAD to be in the delivery office by midnight Wednesday. The strike was Thursday and Friday, yet only the drivers were off on Thursday and the delivery staff Friday. So, if they had posted it in time to arrive Thursday, ... ...So I wated till Saturday and Wednesdays post was deilivered, yet no windows 7. Completely incompetent p[rat on the end of the phone just could not get my complaint and when I asked to speak to a manager twice they obviously bottled out and would not speak to me...I was not rude so there was no reason. I have now raised a complaint and will push to get recompense for me having to go out and buy it. Oh and they said it should arrive Monday or Tuesday.....probably, ...

Advantages: Cost, Free and Quick Delivery Disadvantages: None
One of the easiest and cheapest websites for online purchases. A big advantage over many of its rivals is the free delivery, whatever the price. I have had absolutely no problems with receiving or returning orders and they are one of the first websites I go to when making an online purchase. I have never had to deal with there customer service department so can't comment on that.
The overall layout of the website is excellent and easy to navigate. ...

Advantages: Generally cheaper then most places. Disadvantages: inconsistant customer support + service, excuses...
I have been using Play.com for some time now and havent had many complaints about them untill recently.
I pre-orderd a game expecting the usual play.com promise of reciving the game promptly upon its release date if not a few days before. However the game was released and my status was not updated to "dispatched" as i had expected, instead the words "packing" appeared. So, i called the customer support line to receive a comment about not having ... ...i recieved a e-mail from play.com saying my order had been dipatched meaning my account had been debited, So i could not purchase the game as i did not want to be paying twice! im now stuck waiting for a game that i had pre-orderd long after its release date and i can not even purchase it sooner.
This experiance has left me frustrated with play.com and i do not think i will be making many more purchases with them in the near future.

Advantages: Cheapish prices, large range Disadvantages: Delivery and order status is terrible
I ordered a game for the Xbox 360 on 8/12/08 and it has been delivered today 10/8/2009. I completely forgot that I had ordered it in fact, so it was quite surprise when I received a email a couple of days ago detailing dispatch. There were no other emails detailing the order status etc in between which I find a bit strange given an 8 month delay. To make matters worse it is actually listed as cheaper now and they have charged me the price when I ... ...look through the T&C's to see anything about the price upon dispatch but nothing jumped out at me. It will definitely make me think about using them in the future. But based on this transaction I give the lowest score I can. This game was released some months prior to order and was listed in stock at the time, I think they even sent me an advertising email containing this game around the time which is why I bought from Play. I can understand that ...

i think that play.com is a very goog online shopping service with a massive rang of stuff from films dvd blu ray i found the prices abiut the same as other internet sites of simular size but there rang of films was in my opinion endless with all the good old classics and the funny 80s films. the 3 for 10 pounds deal was handy because you can mix up books,films and cds.
